Port-au-Prince: Haiti's capital city taken hostage by brutal gangs - BBC News
Haiti is on the "verge of the abyss", according to the UN, as heavily armed gangs expand their control of the country.
Armed groups control - and terrorise - at least 60% of the capital Port-au-Prince and its surroundings, according to Haitian human rights groups.
They are also warning rape is increasingly being used as a weapon.
In the first six months of this year, the gangs killed almost 1,000 people, the UN has said.
